RIP ODB

RIP to the ODB

big baby jesus of the bataille beats

he was an Artaud from the ghetto

Artaud from the ghetto

Artaud from the ghetto



who saw himself as Creeper from The Dolemite,

my favourite character from my favourite Rudy Ray Moore movie,

there's guys like him in every inner city

a guy whose years of crack and no food  and shelter

have blossomed into a shaky walk and barely comprehensible slur of words



yes they're poets too



if  i ever go back to school, it will be to do a  Phd on ODB, to be Dr.

Dirty. Dirt McGirt, Ol' Dirty Bastard, you helped me feel good about

being dirty, and I cried when I learned of your passing. From one

over-medicated lunatic artist to another, you rocked the house.



peace out to the dirtiest muthafucka that ever lived.



there will never be a hype-man more hype.



surrealism shouldn't be a cottage industry, leave it for the mad ones.







- Neil M Hennesey
